My husband and I had been on the Kona side for 6 days, but since we we're flying out of Hilo at 8am, decided to find a place there. The Wild Ginger Inn was recommended to us by the property manager of the cottage we stayed at in Honaunau. I checked out the website, it looked good and was the... more

This was my 5th time at the Wild Ginger Inn, and found it to be clean as a pin, no bugs in sight, not even an ant! New owners, this place has changed hands several times over the past few years,but they were very nice and found me a room even though I walked in without a reservation on a... more

I stayed here May 14, 2006 Accomodations initialy appear to be spartan, but VERY clean. However, I woke up in middle of night to see a VERY LARGE cockroach on the table next to my bed! It was what are known as Palmetto bugs in Florida-i.e. at least 3 inches in size. YUCK! It appears the previous resident had left... more

My husband & I have stayed at this inn several times over the past 10 years. Yes, it's gone through ownership changes and is constantly getting work done... the new owners & their family are working hard. We enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and good times "talking story" at the inn. We had no problems with dirt or bugs (altho we... more

This "hotel" needs to be demolished. Whilst the location is good the entire place is run down, full of bugs, beat up and has a "mouldy" air to it. I booked the room based on the recommendation in "Lonely Planet" and as a result will view all Lonely Planet recommendations with a jaded eye from now on. Do yourself a... more

I stayed at the Wild Ginger Inn with my mother in June of 2005. I heard of this place from my Lonely Planet guidebook and, after checking out their website (which isn't updated, by the way -- the peacock didn't stick around when the owners took over -- and I really don't blame it!) and looking at cautionary tales posted... more

After reading the reviews on this site, I decided to give this place a try. There were some good things about the experience, and some not so great things. The continental breakfast was quaint and tasty. The fruit they serve is all grown on the property. The gardens are quite nice. I loved hearing the sounds of the insects at... more

if you don't like typical cookie-cutter lodgings, this place is for you, 1920s plantation style wooden building, tropical gardens and songs of birds and frogs. family-owned and very friendly atmosphere. more

If there were a rating between one and two circles I would put this place there as in "Okay, with many problems." I just returned from a long trip to Hawaii. Six nights in Oahu and three in Hilo at the WG Inn. Let's start with the good: The place is very quiet and away from the big city fluff.... more
